Maxent MX-42VM7 42 in. Plasma TV

TV will not turn on when power is connected. Green power light flashes and then turns to yellow. The readings on the AC EMI FILTER ARE 123 VOLTS ON THE HOT SIDE AND 63 VOLTS ON THE NEUTRAL SIDE. THE FUSES ARE GOOD ON THE VOLTAGE BOARD. COULD THE PROBLEM BE THE EMI FILTER THAT CONNECTS TO AC POWER?

Trying to program a universal remote can sometimes be a frustrating process. Successful programming of a universal remote depends on whether the universal remote manufacturer included our company’s information in the remote when it was assembled. Then a cable company (ie., Comcast) or satellite provider (ie., Dish Network) orders their decoder box and universal remote control from a manufacturer (ie., Scientific Atlanta, Motorola, etc.), the decoder box manufacturer provides a list of all the possible remote controls this universal can duplicate. From that list the cable company or satellite selects which manufacture’s products to include on their new universal remote. Once those manufacturers names have been decided, they are placed on the universal remote and a numeric code is assigned. If they choose not to include our company on the universal remote, the universal remote may not access the Maxent screen. If you cannot locate Maxent on the list provided to you by the universal remote provider, please try the following:Through contact with various cable and satellite content providers we have developed a list of the most common numeric codes that are used with universal remotes.Content Provider/Most commonly used codeComcast: 1755Comcast (ML-3251HLT Model): 0054 Insight: 1755Direct TV: 11755Dish Network: 742 Cable Vision: 165Adelphia: 0156, 1755Universal: 0762One4All: 0036 Time Warner: 0230

We have identified other manufacturers of display products that have similar remote control information to ours. Depending on the universal remote you are using these manufacturers may work. Please use the documentation that accompanied your universal remote, and look up the following companies. Input the numeric code associate with that company.GatewaySampoViewsonicMagnavoxPhillipsMarantzPilotIf the universal remote you are trying to program contains a Code Search (the remote will scan through all the codes contained within the universal remote) function, we recommend that you try that procedure. It is possible that there may be another manufacturer code that may work with our monitor. You may also want to try a Learning Remote from another manufacturer. This type of remote control can absorb or record the information coming directly out of the Maxent remote control. The learning remote then duplicates that information and acts like the Maxent Remote control. This type of remote can also record the signal coming from your other universal remotes in the same manner. In which case you can use this learning remote for your entire audio video system

The TV was made by LG. You should be able to google an LG distributor or try ebay. The 953 is readily available but the 917 may be hard to find. Won't be cheap for new ones, around $350-$400 for both unless you can find used.

i have the same thing but what i do is unplug the tv and plug again till i hear a click then replug immediately and wait for the tv to come on .this is normally a symptom of a weak surge protector in the back, inside of the tv.it is normally not an expensive repair and better still if the tv is still on gaurantee it should cost nothing.

Ur power board is dead.Must know how to solders?Take the tv aparts check power board for capacitors for puff up or burst open must replaced these capacitors.Or replaced the whole power board.Tries Shopjimmy.com,Ebay.com.

open the back and reseat the LVDS cable(looks kinda like a computer data cable)...also check your other circuit board connectors..literally unplug the connectors..and reseat them...Question...is the set working now?...or is it not coming on?

We seem to have had the same problem. Green light keeps blinking but will not turn set on or off. I unplugged the set for a few minutes, plugged back in and works fine but will happen from time to time for no reason.
